Lyrics

(Note - these are very basic chords and are wide open to variation! Note too that the chord doesn't always appear in the correct place on this page for some reason - but I think you can figure it out! If not, drop me a mail!)

G D G G7 C We all need a hug in the morning and one at the end of the day

Am D G …… D And as many as possible squeezed in between to keep life's troubles at bay

G D G G7 C No matter, wherever you ramble, your problems be great or be small

Am D G It is my belief - for instant relief - a hug is the best cure of all

I met an old exile in Boston, who longed to go back home one day But he thought no-one there would be carin’, for he’d been so long away To stop a tear drop in his coffee, he gave his old whiskers a tug And I knew that he’d give all he needed to live For a big welcome-home-again hug

Chorus

There’s a doctor who lives out in China, a master of medical arts They tell me that there is no finer in curing all defective parts He says that the very best treatment - the only truly safe drug The only elixir that surely will fix you Is a big warm, old-fashioned hug

Chorus

And when Adam was cast from the garden and feeling that life was unfair his temper was starting to harden when Eve said “I've nothing to wear” But God in his mercy looked kindly, He gave his wide shoulders a shrug I’ll give human kind a small piece of my mind And so he created the hug

Chorus

A letter can bring consolation, a phone call can brighten the night In the midst of great aggravation, they can put at least some things to right But when your heart feels like it's breaking, your life slipping down past the plug And you feel like a ghost, the thing you want most Is someone to give you a hug
